OBJECTIVES

To meet the challenge of ensuring excellence in engineering education, the issue of quality needs to be addressed,
debated and taken forward in a systematic manner. Accreditation is the principal means of quality assurance in
higher education. The major emphasis of accreditation process is to measure the outcomes of the program that is
being accredited.

In line with this, Faculty of Institute of Aeronautical Engineering, Hyderabad has taken a lead in incorporating
philosophy of outcome based education in the process of problem solving and career development. So, all students
of the institute should understand the depth and approach of course to be taught through this question bank, which
will enhance learner’s learning process.
